Columbia University Housing

Eligibility

We offer housing to students from any college or university who are enrolled to take courses during the summer sessions at Columbia University through the School of Continuing Education, the School of General Studies, or the Summer Architecture Program. Barnard students also qualify for summer housing through this application but must be enrolled in summer session classes. Students must be over the age of 18 and enrolled in courses for the summer. Please note that current high school students are not eligible for summer housing (this includes students who were accepted into the class of 2014). However, high school students can apply for the High School Program through the School of Continuing Education.
